Well, this really screws America. By politicizing the Intelligence agencies, this White House makes it impossible for Congress or future Presidents to trust what the spooks have to say.

It puts Intelligence back to the McCartyhism Era when liberals and Democrats were seen a Fellow Travellers and the People had to be rescued from making the wrong choices.

Or as Eric Margolis pointed out, The State of the Union address looks more and more like one of Leonid Brezhnev's politburo speeches. Nothing said and puppets leaping to their feet applauding madly. And all the "facts & figures" manufactured so as to be "fit to print".

I suppose next we'll have White House-ologists analyzing the meaning of Cheney appearing on which Sunday morning news show (What is he covering up?) and what Bush means when he says someone is doing a great, great job (Just how bad a job has he been doing? Two 'greats'! It must be really bad).
